  • The foot isn't that much off-line. Remember that he's standing on the left-side, and looks like he's actually playing just right of the center arrow. The rule is to have the foot point at the mark you're throwing at - and he's doing just that.

    Regarding other players who have the foot facing sideways, it depends on how straight the shoulders are on release. For righties, If you dip your right shoulder low on delivery, your sliding foot will have a tendency to move sideways.

  • That's called the YABA slide. ;)

    A LOT of bowlers that came from the junior ranks slid that way. Why, we don't know, but it as long as it doesn't affect the point of release or balance at the point of release, it's no problem.

    Watch Mike Aulby in older vids, he does the same exact thing, and was one of the PBA's ultra elite.

  • 5:39 - Fleming's slide foot is literally sideways at the line!
